Self-healing amino acid-bearing acrylamides/n-butyl acrylate copolymers via multiple noncovalent bonds

Abstract

Four amino acid-bearing acrylamides, N-acryloyl-l-threonine, N-acryloyl-l-glutamic acid, N-acryloyl-l-phenylalanine, and N-acryloyl-l, l-diphenylalanine, were copolymerized with n-butyl acrylate to develop amino acid-based self-healable copolymers.
